Family History Workshop this Saturday at Museum

The Stevens County Historical Society, and its collaborative committee the West Central Family History Association, are sponsoring three local events this Spring.

The first FREE Stevens County Museum Archive Resources Workshop will be held in the museum archive, on Saturday, March 9th, from 10-noon. Hundreds of people over the past decade have contacted the society, in their search for family history related information in Stevens County and elsewhere.

The collection at the historical society has expanded since Tina Didreckson’s last presentation on this topic at the Minnesota Genealogical Society Outstate Conference, held at the museum in 2006. Tina will share an updated resource list, information about completed and ongoing transcription and indexing projects, and key Stevens County research resources.

Researchers, who order familysearch.org, microfilms ahead or reserve computer space, will also have a Saturday opportunity to spend some time working in the archive. Call 320-589-1719 or email research@stevenshistorymuseum.com to reserve your spot.
